NEET 2024 Chemistry Energy Levels MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The energy of an electron in the ground state (n = 1) for He⁺ ion is −x J, then that for an electron in n = 2 state for Be³⁺ ion in J is:

A

−4x

B

−4/9 x

C

−x

D

−x/9

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like ion is given by E = −13.6 Z²/n² eV. For Be³⁺ (Z=4) in n=2, E = −13.6 × 4²/2² = −4/9 x.
